What it does

Civitai presents itself as a place to discover and create AI art. The main navigation links to models, images, videos, 3D models, hubs, articles, comics, crucibles, updates and a shop, plus a Create button and a Pro option. The home page features images made by the community, a list of featured models with a link to auctions, and sections for new and top creators. A board lets users ask for or give Buzz when they run out. The models section lists the featured models on the site and links to a page for exploring all models. A banner says a new open-weights image model from Black Forest Labs, Flux.3 Klein, is in the generator for text-to-image and for edits using up to 10 reference images, and that FLUX 3 Image is available too. The footer links to an API page, terms, a safety page and a status page.
